Global Call to Action: maximize the public health impact of
                intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in
                sub-Saharan Africa

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy is a
                highly cost-effective intervention which significantly improves
                maternal and birth outcomes among mothers and their newborns who
                live in areas of moderate to high malaria transmission. However,
                coverage in sub-Saharan Africa remains unacceptably low, calling
                for urgent action to increase uptake dramatically and maximize
                its public health impact. The 'Global Call to Action' outlines
                priority actions that will pave the way to success in achieving
                national and international coverage targets. Immediate action is
                needed from national health institutions in malaria-endemic
                countries, the donor community, the research community, members
                of the pharmaceutical industry and private sector, along with
                technical partners at the global and local levels, to protect
                pregnant women and their babies from the preventable, adverse
                effects of malaria in pregnancy.
